Asphalt economics: UP raises cost of parking permits

Parking is an ongoing discussion on campus, and this semester is no exception as students raise concerns about the University increasing the cost of parking permits by nearly 50%. The cost rose from $180 a year for a student parking permit to $290. In response to this decision, a student-organized petition circulated the UP community with over 250 signatures calling for a price reduction.
